You're both making my point.

"Of course that's dangerous" - I'm aware of what I'm doing and the machine was entirely replaceable, but claude had been doing things with an extreme level of competence so I never considered it could do something so dangerously stupid, it had been catching much more subtle gotchas for the last 2 months building my trust.

And you truly believe that it's not even possible.

Let me reiterate the point: "AI can make mistakes" → "This AI seems to make very few mistakes and is catching nuances I might have missed" → "Maybe I trust this AI more than I should- but it's good!" → *AI makes major mistake*

This is as true for code as it is for internet facts.
